The Ancient Grain That Could Solve Food Insecurity — Here's What Nate Blum and Sorghum United Are Building

Sorghum has been feeding civilizations for millennia — thriving in hot, arid climates where other crops fail, delivering protein, iron, and calcium without gluten, and requiring a fraction of the water that conventional grains demand. Yet in modern Western agriculture and food culture it has been almost entirely overlooked. Nate Blum is the CEO of Sorghum United, an international NGO dedicated to advancing education and markets for sorghum and millets, and a fourth-generation Nebraska farmer who has spent his career making the case for ancient grains as one of the most powerful tools available for food security, nutrition, environmental sustainability, and rural economic resilience. What he shares with Stacey Chillemi about why sorghum deserves a place in the conversation about the future of food, what it takes to build global markets for a crop most consumers have never considered, and what these ancient grains can actually do for the health of people, farms, and the planet will give you the most unexpectedly fascinating and practically important food system conversation you have encountered. The grain that sustained the ancient world may be exactly what the modern one needs. This episode makes the case.
